As a 19 year old voting for the first time this election, I would like to hear something about Marijuana laws, particularly after the court hearing that will force the Canadian government to re-write its medical marijuana laws within the next month. (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/14/us-canada-judge-says-medical-marijuana-t-idUSTRE73D4UT20110414). While the baby-boomers that dominate politics seem afraid to bring up such a controversial issue due to political backlash, the use of Marijuana in Canada has grown for the last three decades, and continues to do so. As a recently graduated high school student, I would whole-heartedly attest to the fact that Marijuana is deeply immersed in high-schools and universities across Canada. "16.8 per cent of Canadians aged 15 to 64 use marijuana", according to "The Globe and Mail"- this almost undoubtedly favors the younger demographic, given the rise in use over the last three decades. In fact, Canada leads the industrial world in pot smoking, several times higher than the Netherlands, even(http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article770944.ece). If prohibition is meant to reduce the amount of users and the availability of marijuana in Canada, it has failed miserably on both counts, and continues to do so, and therefore a political debate on the issue should be immanent. 400 Million tax dollars go into enforcing Marijuana laws each year, compared to the 500 million budget for enforcing illegal drugs combined- the industry in BC is worth an estimated 4 billion dollars alone, and likely employs some 100-150 thousand workers, more than the logging, gas, mining, and oil industries combined. Given these facts, I find it incredible that not a single political platform in the election addresses the issue. Canada leads the modernized world in both Marijuana use and production, and yet our politicians avoid the topic ardently to avoid risking the polls.

I heard the story on SwissAir tonight and my ears perked up - magnesium? Really? Then they interviewed a fisherman who went out to find bodies. He knew nothing about magnesium obviously. Then a local resident who was "sure" it was a criminal act (based on .... what? - her feelings?). Then they interviewed a woman who lost her husband. She too didn't know a damned thing about the presence of magnesium. Then they interviewed the provincial transport minister!!! Aviation is a federal jurisdiction and the provincial dept has nothing to do with operation of aircraft or investigation of accidents. No jurisdiction, no responsibility and no expertise - they deal with cars and trucks and some bridges. Aircraft operations (Transport Canada), investigations (TSB of C) and the RCMP are all federal bodies. The 3 minute piece was full of fluff - there was nothing in it that was slightest bit informative. I learned nothing about the presence of magnesium or the probability of the crash being the result of criminal activity. Why did you bother?????

To ask if it's time for the Occupy Movement to go home, is to miss their point. It's just like a strike, only when people think they should go is there is any impetus for leaders to engage with the issue of systemic inequality. That this group is committed to patience and non-violence is a wonderful thing. Would we prefer that they prove their conviction more quickly with violence? They deserve our respect, and our attention, and our support for having come this far, this well.

Re: Diane Buckner's piece about rising food costs. Substituting less expensive items is NOT the only way to keep one's food budget in line. We have been blessed with artificially low food prices for years, and we should be paying farmers and food producers a living wage. I would suggest alternate strategies such as eating local, eating seasonally, canning and freezing, and supporting a local CSA or farmer's market as some very effective strategies to assure food secuity, not just low prices.

With regard to the item about aboriginal youth mental health services, I believe that mental health services in general are neglected, and in particular mental health services for youth are disregarded. It seems to me that the study as reported shows that social conditions may predispose aboriginal youth to greater incidence of mental health issues, not that treatment is more available to other Canadian youth. Your headline is misleading, and implies that youth who are not aboriginal have access to better mental health services. I don't think this is the case.
